The plan for No. 9
The front nine ends with a long par 4 whose fairway sits left of water near the approach. A well-positioned drive matters because the next shot may still be substantial. Choose a central landing target that leaves a clear view of the green.
Off the tee
The fairway opens beyond the teeing ground, then changes shape toward the water. Match the club to the width where the ball should finish. Avoid aiming at a distant feature without checking whether the expected drive landing area lies on that same line.
Approach & recovery
The green is tucked beyond the upper part of the water-lined corridor, with sand around the target. If the drive leaves too much distance for a reliable approach, select a safe advancing shot using the actual fairway and shoreline. Do not force a carry from a poor lie.
On the green
The mapped green narrows where it joins the approach. Aim into the broader putting area when the flag is difficult to see or reach. For a longer first putt, establish pace across the full route before refining the final few feet of break.
Watch for
- Water occupies the right side near the approach; greenside bunkers constrain a flag-seeking miss.
